Freeware for learning Japanese
 
Check this thing out!

WaKan Project Website - Download

Text editor/character dictionary/translator/learning aid... for free !!O_O!!

I'm still playing around with it, but I can tell you already that the text editor and Character dictionaries alone are well worth the download.

Did I happen to mention that this also works for Chinese? No shit!

Ah! I remember seeing that before, but never getting around to downloading it.. I'll download it for sure, this time XD
Kinda reminds me of the dictionary at jisho.org o.o

You should always do virus scans on things you download from the internet, to be safe. ^^;
This program, however, should be fine.

You have to play around with it a bit before you can really utilize it effectively, I've found after a couple days with it.

I just finished quizzing myself on my vocabulary from class, then printed out a list off all the words that I couldn't remember/didn't know--and only those ones.

The other night I was able to transliterate the lyrics of a Japanese song from Romaji to normal Japanese writing complete with Kanji--and more or less accurately XP !

A very nice program, very helpful.

Sinner 02-17-2008 11:59 AM

Yes, It's very effective! But can you translate English words to Japanese Romanji?

I'm giving it a try now. No other Japanese learning tools have been helpful for me so far, but hopefully this will.
